You can either buy granola or make your own with my superfood granola recipe. These are great for lunch boxes and to keep the kids going for extra curricular sports. Add the acai and maca powder for extra nutrients as they are classed as a superfood. Substitute the dried cranberries and raisins for other dried fruit if you wish such as dried cherries, chopped dates, goji berries, etc.

2 teaspoons maca powder (optional)
